Raw Gold Nugget Stud Earrings

Gold is formed in quartz deposits in the earth. When erosion takes place, exposed veins of pure gold break off and wash into rivers and streams. The natural movement of the water tumbles the gold against sand and rocks, forming the Natural Gold Nugget. This gives each nugget its own one of a kind texture, shape, and character. No two are exactly alike.

Natural gold is found by miners and left in its natural form, unaltered by man. Sand and rocks dull the nuggets and a slight cleaning is desired to bring out the brilliant color of gold, which averages 22kt (90%) pure.
